Request EPC Certificate in Kraainem

Housing Market & EPC in Kraainem

Kraainem sits right on the eastern edge of Brussels, about 5 km from our office in Tervuren. It is one of the six facility municipalities around the capital: it lies in the Flemish Region, yet many residents speak French at home. Kraainem has no separate sub-municipalities and borders Wezembeek-Oppem, Zaventem and Tervuren. If you need an EPC here, you get the Flemish certificate, even when your bank, notary or agent is based in Brussels. We come to your home and work in Dutch, French or English.

Kraainem is a residential, leafy municipality with many family houses on quiet roads, plus some apartments closer to the busier routes. Many homes are detached or semi-detached on plots larger than most people expect near the city. Anyone selling or letting a home here needs a valid EPC, including when the buyer or tenant comes from Brussels. As a general rule, older houses score lower labels than recently built or thoroughly renovated ones.

For an EPC in Kraainem the assessor looks at the same things as anywhere in Flanders: roof, wall and floor insulation, the type of glazing, heating and hot water, ventilation and any solar panels. The certificate is required as soon as you publicly offer the home for sale or rent, it stays valid for ten years, and the label must appear in the listing. Buyers should note that anyone who buys a home with label E or F must reach at least label D within a fixed period after the deed. That period depends on the date of the deed; check yours on vlaanderen.be.
